The key to the later stall recovery technique is to be very good at flying the
airplane very close to the stall by using aircraft feel, i.e. practice slow
flight a lot. The advantage is very little altitude lost in the recovery.

Any glider pilot will know exactly what you are talking about. The best
way to gain altitude in a thermal is usually to be in a tight turn (to remain in
the core of the thermal) and remain just a couple knots over the stall. If you
feel the stall start to happen, you just release some back pressure until things
feel ok again.
